Marny took us to a simple room inside, asking us to sit around a modest wooden table. The tavern girl looked at Cecil as if she had gone crazy.
"So, anything to explain before I answer your previous question?" She leaned her head against her hand, "I know you're not someone who would be that reckless. You survived by scamming people. So… I take it you have influenced her to do this, Mr. Lover?"
"Marny…!" Cecil growled in a low tone and seemingly got pissed by her friend accusing me. However, I stopped her as I knew her friend was just worried and didn't know about me yet.
"Stop it, Cecil," I said in a calm tone, turning to the tavern girl. "Marny, is it? Yes, it was me who invited Cecil to visit the Assassin's Den. But there is a clear reason for that."
"What? Suicide?" She scoffed, grinning with a mocking expression. "That's the only reason I can think of."
"No." I shook my head, pulling my hood down.
